THANKS TO ALL OF OUR TEACHERS!!!!!
I want to take a minute and acknowledge all of our teachers for Teacher Appreciation WEEK! I am so thankful for all they do every day to support the Briarcliff Community. Their job is never done and they work so hard all day and often into the evenings in order to support students. They are in meetings all the time as they look for ways to individualize instruction and reach every single student. They are here for night events in order to connect with families, they hold conferences and make calls all the time! When I think about all the careers and jobs we have, I can not think of one more important than the one they show up to do every single day. So, from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank every single one of them and all of my support staff in the building. I am so fortunate to work with you ALL!!!!!

THANKS TO OUR NURSE MRS. McGugan!
Tomorrow is National Nurse Day! I just want to give a shout-out to our amazing nurse. She helps so many students and families every day!
FROM THE STUDENT SERVICE TEAM
Hello families!
We are collecting encouraging notes for students to open at school on the morning of their first EOG. This is an additional opportunity for you to wish your students luck and remind them how much you care.
We sent these letters home in an envelope with “you are loved” paper in last week's Tuesday (5/2) folders. Please use only the provided paper to help us ensure consistency among students.
Please return the envelope and letter to school with your student by May 19th.
Thank you!
- The Student Services Team
Extra Clothes Items Needed
Parents should send a spare change of clothes in backpacks in case their student has an accident or falls in the mud. If a student does not have something, the office frequently gives kids a change of clothes. We are currently in need of new underpants sizes 5-10 for boys and girls. We also give out a lot of leggings and sweatpants, sizes 5-10. Clothes that are easy for younger kids to put on are ideal (no snaps or buttons). Thank you!
Testing Dates for EOGs
Please make sure to plan around our current testing schedule. Please understand that we have to test on the days surrounding Memorial Day due to state restrictions.
May 26: Grades 3-5 ELA
May 30: Grades 3-5 Math
